Star introduces new Micro Receipt

Star Cloud Services is proud to announce the release of the new Micro Receipt™ function within Star’s free-of-charge Digital Receipt Service. Retailers can choose whether to issue a traditional receipt or a much shorter paper-saving micro receipt. Using the AllReceipts™ or Itemize app, Shoppers can simply scan the QR code provided on the Micro Receipt to capture and store a FULL digital version of the receipt on their mobile device. Software houses can also install this ready-made feature saving them time and money while providing an opportunity for retailers to reduce paper costs and a free way to engage with shoppers.

Device Management

This is a Cloud Hardware Monitoring Service which enables the retailer to view connected printers and cash drawers in a Cloud based portal listing. Printers can be named for fast identification so that retailers are then instantly made aware of problems. The ability to name printers is perfect for retailers with multiple locations.

Engage NOW

Engage NOW features an alarm notification on the customer’s smart phone which opened the retailer’s chosen landing page with wider focus promotional messages. The URL link to this feature is dynamic and will reach any customer’s smart phone that has claimed just one digital receipt.

Digital Receipts

Subscribing to this service will mean that as soon as the printer has printed the receipt, a digital image of the receipt will be sent to the Cloud for collection by the customer by scanning a QR code at the bottom of the receipt or tapping the NFC beacon on the counter.

Data Facilitation

Star Cloud has the unique ability to transform shopping receipts into valuable digital transaction data. Data Facilitation allows retailers to transport that digital receipt data to third party partners or vendors who can offer a wide range of analytics and shopper engagement services, such as loyalty programs.

Customer Survey

The Instant Customer Satisfaction Survey feature allows retailers and service providers to receive real-time feedback from customers. When claiming a digital receipt in the AllReceipts App, customers are prompted to provide feedback on their experience, which is relayed to the retailer’s user-friendly survey dashboard.

Receipt Flip

Receipt Flip is a focused marketing tool that can be changed daily, even hourly to match the retailer’s latest campaign or market product trends. A motivational full colour image, coupon or details of an event can be placed on the customer’s phone attached to each receipt.
